Question 4419 Deck General
70% to passWhen elevated, placing the LCG and TCG at the leg centroid provides _______________.
The correct answer is A) equal leg reactions. When the LCG (longitudinal center of gravity) and TCG (transverse center of gravity) are placed at the leg centroid, it results in equal leg reactions. This is because the center of gravity is aligned with the center of the leg, which distributes the weight evenly across all the legs, leading to equal reactions at each leg. The other options are incorrect because they do not directly relate to the effects of positioning the LCG and TCG at the leg centroid. Reduced scour rates, higher variable loading during preloading, and higher drilling loads are not the primary consequences of this specific configuration.
